After making several remarks about the St. Louis suburb, Common asked everyone for their undivided attention. “I want us all to take a moment of silence for Michael Brown and for peace in this country and in the world,” he said.

The video camera then cut to the Kardashians who seemed to be more engaged in their own world. Twitter blew up in rage over their nonchalant actions.

While some users didn’t think too much of the Kardashians not focusing on the moment at hand, others labeled the sisters “selfish” and “self absorbed” for not fully participating in the moment.

How should the Kardashian sisters respond to the backlash?

You people don't even care bout that kid that was shot all you all care bout is white officer shot a black kid who obviously wasn't getting discplined this is a chance and reason for a riot or take it out on people in general

A friend emailed me supposed copy of Michael Brown's rap sheet. I don't think he should be judged by that anymore then a white police officer should be judged before all the facts are in. There is no reason not to give a moment of silence for the loss of a young life.

I agree very disrespectful and they should be ashamed. They might have money and think they are all that...and they have beautiful babies... Kim your butt is way to big and it doesn't look right, like it is abnormal??? Your too short my dear!! Kloe and Courtney I love when they are together! Kylie and Kendall, you have started way too young my dears!!! Before long you are going to look washed out and in your thirty's. Such a shame and you owe it all to your mother!! Look at Kim? She wears a bunch of make-up to cover her already being washed out. Oh well, not my problem! I have too much to worry about than my looks! Not up to me to judge... just a thought and an expression!!!

Screw this article. This was one moment where respect was asked from everyone and they get blasted? How about the daily disrespect the national anthem gets from millions at games and other events??? This was a moment of silence for an event that is being debated as we speak but everyone here should have a personal stake in our national anthem.

MURDER????? What irresponsible reporting, Mr. Taylor. It is because of people like you, who have no interested in finding out the truth, just wanting to incite the populace. You are blind to the fact the Michael Brown may or may not have conducted a strong-armed robbery, who may or may not have attacked a cop, who may or may not have been smoking pot. Instead, you dismiss these possibilities as being out of the realm of reality by saying he was murdered, MURDERED, by a policeman. You nor I were there to witness what went on, yet you can make such a recklessly harsh statement, further adding to this unrest. You break the unspoken rule of reporting by not providing fair and balanced news. How sad for Officer Wilson, the Police, the people of Ferguson, even for Michael Brown for the misrepresentation you and your colleagues spew.

It's not about what he's done thru out his short life. It's how these men (black men) are being killed like their life is worth much less than any other race. You can't talk about it if you haven't lived it. Nothing more can be said to anyone that doesn't experience the shit that we go thru on a daily/hourly basis.

We are NOT talking about some hero that was murdered in Irac or the journalist beheaded by some other thug, Isis.....This is about a two-bit thug, who just minutes before his own death, he was stealing & robbing an elderly man...This thug deserves NO honor and NO Moment of Silence. He WAS just a two bit thug.....NOTHING MORE!!

@eddie l Because just like with Vogue... Kanye West laid down on the floor and kicked his feet and cried and threatened to rant about them on stage and when he became the new Messiah the VMA's President would not get in heaven.

@CB1111 Who are you kidding? Established facts: Brown was unarmed and the cop knew nothing of the convenience store incident. You read the Post and you are talking about " fair and balanced news"? Come on, get real. Cops murder people every day. Your feigned outrage is pathetic.

@Tom Mikele You do understand that the nation knows there's a dead body but the nation does not know the verdict as to whether or not it was legal and justified, right? You know, that whole legal process thingy that still has to occur.

@Jeffrey Koenig@Tom Mikele I don't think Tom Mikele can even comprehend what you are saying, since in his rush to crucify the officer before the facts are in, Tom is blind to everything and seeing only in black and white. In other words, Tom's a moron.
